I really love Gaiman's style of discussing mythology and the more fantastic parts of our world. I love the way that Gaiman and Pratchett irreverantly talk about the apocalypse in Good Omens, and I loved the fantastic world of London Below in Neverwhere.

Gaiman tells a story about a man who gets caught up in something a little over his head. The book is completely filled with puns and references from all sorts of pop culture and mythos, and American Gods was simply a really fun read.
